> Dear Montana NFB,



> On our call yesterday, I mention the late retired sports announcer Paul
> Radar who went to the Hellgate girls' basketball games as my personal
> announcer. William Markus did the piece that aired on NPR in 1996, when Zoey
> was a senior.



> Here is the link to the seven-minute mp3. It should just start playing in
> your default MP3 player. You might want to turn up the volume a bit.

> It would be wonderful to find others who could help us out at events, like a
> daughter's dance recital. I go to my grandchildren's soccer games, and it is
> quite boring. When I go to Emerson's games, Zoey does the play-by-play, and
> she is pretty good, but nothing like Paul, God rest his soul.



> I do not link to this from my home page, because it is copyrighted by NPR.
